SAVE YOUR BEST SEEDS. Now is the time to be careful and save your earliest and best seeds. Most people are negligent or dilatory in regard to this matter, and they are forced to send to seed stores at planting time to find something that will answer for seed. often are they disappointed! But how Save the earliest and best seeds. Much depends on this. Our summers are not always long enough and hot enough for the ripening of that invaluable crop, Indian corn. We should therefore select the earliest ears, and these are found in the field, where not half the ears have vet matured. By selecting the earliest from year to year we gain a number of days, and when we already have a favorite kind of corn, this is better than to send annually to the North to procure earlier kinds, for such are usually much smaller than that from which we harvest our earliest crops. Nothing is lost: the drop of dew Which trembles on the leaf or flower, Is but exhaled to fall anew In summer's thunder shower; Nothing is lost-the tiniest seed The language of some household song, So with our words: or harsh or kind, So with our deeds: for good or ill, To make them rife with good!

I have noticed that many farmers, when they wish to sow rye after corn, will cut up the corn and stook it upon grass ground. This is wrong, wholly wrong; and those who practice it are sure to have a much larger quantity of soft corn, than those who dry off their corn on ploughed ground. Where there is so much green vegetation and moisture under and around the stooks, never dries off properly. These are facts, and if these few lines shall induce even one man to follow them out, I shall be amply paid for writing them. Yours truly, ·H. STRATTON. Northfield Farm, Sept. 15th, 1855.

In the Farmer of week before last a correspondent asks, "What ails the Apple Trees ?" and then describes just such an affliction or disease as has attacked my trees. He says that in his examinations he found but one worm; and by his remarks I conclude he suspects the trouble to be the effect rather of the wash he had used, than of the worm. But as I find plenty of worms, and as my trees have not been washed at all during the two past years, I cannot agree with him in that conclusion. I find on my trees spots of dead and sunken bark, from the size of a button to that of half the diameter of the tree in width and a foot in length. The worms are in and under the live bark. The largest are about one-third of an inch in length, and of a reddishwhite color, but many are much smaller. MR.
